For Dane Ann With Gratitude

Dane Ann stood beside me in my darkest hour

A poet with a remarkable power

To alleviate stress in times so sour

Her kindness and generosity empower

In thanks I extend a poetic flower




*For Adeleke’s Golden Gratitude contest

What an excellent and sweet tribute to a true friend. In a world where people do not have time for themselves finding, a true friend like Dane Ann is a blessing for you my friend. God help the good people in this way also. My best wishes for this lovely entry. I have posted a new Poem (not my Epic) on the tragedy of Japan, hope you would read it. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra.....Carolyn Devonshire
